The Defence Minister says we can't just follow Australia's footsteps as the time for replacing our two ageing warships nears. The NZ Initiative says the frigates need to retire within a decade, with complex geopolitics adding urgency. It says the replacements will impact our status as a maritime nation, and our trade routes and defence capabilities for the next generation. Minister Chris Penk told Kerre Woodham we want to be able to coordinate with Australia but have other needs. He says it might come down to cost, different capability needs, or wanting to be more active in the Antarctic, for example. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Heritage Foundation's Jim Carafano joins The Marc Cox Morning Show with a sharp, insider take on the Iran conflict — arguing the regime's missile claims are pure theater for a terrified domestic audience, and that President Trump's $300 billion reconstruction offer was actually a brilliant psychological play exposing how the mullahs keep their own people in poverty. Carafano makes the case that the more the regime cracks down, the more likely its own security apparatus walks away, leading to real collapse from within. He and Marc also tackle the murky reporting around the president's Air Force One switch, with Carafano urging skepticism toward unsourced media speculation and full confidence in the Secret Service's judgment. This is the kind of clear-eyed, America-first analysis you won't get anywhere else. Congressman Eric Burlison joins the show next — stay with 97.1 Talk.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker recap the Blue Jays series opening loss to the Giants in San Francisco, if the team would have reconsidered 'running it back' after a World Series clinch and losing Bo Bichette in free agency, if the Jays should decide to move expiring contracts at the deadline, the struggling offence and swing decisions, and what went wrong in Kevin Gausman's start against his former team. Then, Blue Jays' reliever Louis Varland joins the guys (26:30) to look back at the move from Minnesota in 2025, how he's grown as a pitcher, if he ever thought he would be heading to the All-Star Game, if he's routine has changed since being placed in a 'closing role', learning from the World Series, and his goals heading into the season and before the end of the year.  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The boys talk about wins, losses, and life outside the Octagon.After three years away from the show, perennial flyweight contender Brandon Royval, stops by to discuss his IFW bout against Lone'er Kavanagh.

Nearing the halfway point of the 162-game schedule, the Cubs, at times, have looked both like a World Series contender and a club that should be broken apart at the trade deadline. Those extremes have still left the Cubs in a decent position to make the playoffs, though the margin for error is much smaller now and winning the division appears to be a remote possibility. To put everything in context, The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney hand out their midseason grades for Jed Hoyer’s front office, Craig Counsell’s coaching staff, the everyday players at Wrigley Field and a battered pitching staff.To explore coverage, visit aspcapetinsurance.com/FOUL.

Pack nation, Brian Nearing is hanging it up after 49 years on the equipment staff. This ain't just some retirement announcement - this is the soul of the building walking out the door. He was there through every coach, every GM, every wave of players. In a league that treats culture like something you install with a spreadsheet, Brian Nearing was the guy who remembered it all. I got to thinking about Gary Pledge and his snow removal business, and how some people just show up no matter what. That's the same reason Brian stayed 49 years - because somebody had to make sure the equipment was right when the team came out of that tunnel. The real ones never need the spotlight. Green Bay will be fine because the kind of people who built this place are still here, still treating it like a promise. Go Pack Go.

Sam Darnold and Jalen Hurts proved you can, even while paying those guys some amount of money.

Last month at Beijing's half marathon, a robot named Lightning beat the human world record by nearly seven minutes. It's the latest in a string of AI-powered milestones that have got people wondering whether robots are about to enter our everyday lives, just as chatbots have. And the country leading the charge is China, where the government has pledged to invest more than £100bn in robotics over the next 20 years. To find out how robots are already entering the workforce, and what needs to happen to get them cleaning our homes and weeding our gardens, Ian Sample hears from the Guardian's senior China correspondent, Amy Hawkins, and from Nathan Lepora, professor of robotics and AI at Bristol University, who researches how robots can achieve human-like dexterity.
